Okay, I think I misunderstood your suggestion. I thought you wanted
this helper to set the reference config, but you actually want to apply
a new state based on the PWM reference values.
Except that pwm_args does not contain all the required information to
apply a full config (args->duty_cycle and args->enable do not exist).
This being said, in my v6 I moved the content of
pwm_regulator_adjust_pwm_config() (patch 27) into a generic helper
(pwm_adjust_config()). This helper is doing pretty much what you're
suggesting here (but again, I'm not sure I correctly understood your
suggestion :-/).
